#

the thing is, Emmet's grid mainly leans towards improving his sustainbility

#

most useful dmg multipliers are already on his base kit

daring tide
#

ohhh i see

#

screw it the candies r going to gladion then

#

he will be unstoppable

leaden wraith
#

do note that after 60% HP threshold, Thorton will get triple special defense instead, so SS Gladion won't do significant dmg from that point onwards

#

so the mission is keeping the other 2 alive so they dish out enough dmg to clear

daring tide
#

alrightie
who should i be syncing with

leaden wraith
#

sync with Gladion first, then Rei, then Red for extended terrain

#

if you pick B Move refill on Gladion, consider syncing again with him at some point

#

are Red and Rei 3/5?

daring tide
#

rei is, red is not

leaden wraith
#

so sync with Rei most of time then

#

sync with Red once for terrain

#

you can reset for TM MPR on Red, so the team gets more regen after the first one runs out

daring tide
#

I GOT HIM LETS GOOOOO

#

and those crystals i earned are going directly to rika gacha

daring tide
#

i have an extra pass so lets start another run! yay!

#

first off what should i buy from the shop

leaden wraith
#

i can't help unless you specify what are these boosts

#

and how about your seed

daring tide
#

ohh right my seed oops
gimme a minute ill get all that for ya

#

ok the upgrades are elite 4, paralysis, steel moves, and rival

#

i need the binoculars to get my seed right

#

ok it turns out i dont but whatever too late i already got the binoculars

#

of course a10 is field again

sour flax
#

rip

#

a full on field or sprint levels

#

are annoying

daring tide
#

guess pikared will have to be saved for that then
yup

sour flax
#

def

#

if its sprint

#

so help me

leaden wraith
#

be careful with R6

#

about the boosts, how is your Rival roster? ik you have 3/5 SS Gladion so he is useful on A6

#

but both themes are not on the same level with boosts like MC or Kanto

daring tide
#

id say my rival roster is...ok? decent maybe
lemme send a pic

#

poma is still refusing to cooperate so here

sour flax
#

need more sprint and field spotlight unit

#

and maybe free units

#

even if it sucks badly

#

just to give newbie a chance at battle rally

daring tide
#

Pain
all i know is pain

sour flax
#

but will subsize

#

if you can collect more units and cake more units

#

in maybe a year or 2

#

same reasons for LG and Trainer Lodge

leaden wraith
daring tide
#

battle rally takes up way too much of my brain power tbh

#

makin my ass Work

sour flax
#

LG kinda make my brains go splat

#

if i want to try for deep runs

daring tide
#

oh yeah i dont even do lgs im too shortsighted LOL

sour flax
#

the only reason i do is for the ultra cookies for lucky skills

daring tide
#

the only thing that could make it worth it to me is crystals tbh

#

gems or whatever

sour flax
#

yeah

twilit chasm
#

This is my seed and consider im planning to use nc rosa + paulo + nc silver with rolex at a10 i wonder if i should buy it. Just bother that theres any kind of boss this comp is unusable so i may have to change to something different and the bonus will be wasted

leaden wraith
#

that comp can counter every boss except Anabel

twilit chasm
#

Damn not anabel again 😭

muted sparrow
#

Damn, ofc area 10 will be anabel when you cant beat that stage

simple frost
#

what upgrade is that one? o.o the yellow one

twilit chasm
#

Champion theme

leaden wraith
#

i have to disagree on this one

muted sparrow
#

No rain yet ?

twilit chasm
leaden wraith
#

Anabel demands both weather and debuff, Palmer just wants you to beat him fast which can be helped with boosts

leaden wraith
muted sparrow

twilit chasm
#

But you can use whatever you have if a10 is palmer

Anabel nightmare i swear 😭

Normal, Hard and VH, its all her ;<

Oh it's my third time only and I have encountered lucky area 2nd time now! Arceus blessings SabrinaPray

leaden wraith
#

found who stole my luck

twilit chasm
#

Yea you spent 2 months of luck to get that

#

Have fun to get triple anabel at a10

glass parcel
#

Yeah I'm never gonna encounter a lucky area again this year i think PrycePain

twilit chasm
#

Btw looks like you will be damned if it’s anabel

leaden wraith
#

or Argenta

glass parcel
twilit chasm
#

That alola theme boost wont help either lmao

twilit chasm
leaden wraith
#

*debuffs

twilit chasm
#

Oh

leaden wraith
#

Anabel has Latias' passives

twilit chasm
leaden wraith
#

you need an insane debuffer like Cerena or at least like Oleana

glass parcel
#

That's why I hate doing battle rally! I didn't do it for 4 weeks and my battle passes were maxed outHildaCry

leaden wraith
#

think about your gems!

#

300 weekly

#

at least you can speedrun with clearing normal battles only

twilit chasm
#

Well it’s still fun if you dont stress yourself to maximize your points

glass parcel
#

Yeah it should be 1000

glass parcel

leaden wraith
#

just don't look at it

twilit chasm
#

Rally shop is the one helping me to have fun with it, shopping for good boost is very enjoyable

glass parcel
leaden wraith
twilit chasm
#

Anyway which unit i can safety fill with nc rosa and paulo for a10? Theres Support Tech at a5 but im not sure if i should use cerena there

leaden wraith
#

imo save Silver for A10

#

move to hard when you get Anabel

#

using the core with Cerena you will lose to Argenta

twilit chasm
#

Damn move to hard will lose more points than saving cerena for a10 HildaCry

#

(Does it?)

leaden wraith
#

how many tech sup do you have

twilit chasm
#

Sssteven and cerena

leaden wraith
#

Using Cerena and SS Steven: 1050 points
Using Rosa, Paulo and Silver on H: 700 pts

Using SS Steven only: 900
Using Rosa, Paulo and Cerena on VH: 1050 (assuming VH is beatable)

#

does your seed have Strike Sprint combo later? if not, preserve NC Silver

#

in case you get Argenta

oak jolt
twilit chasm
#

when you dont gacha but you still have to gamble AnabelWtf

leaden wraith
#

if a pokemon is not rng involved, it's not a pokemon game

twilit chasm
#

A6 already and i still get trash boost 💀

simple frost
#

isn't thaat champion boost?

twilit chasm
#

Yea but im talking about 50 pts things

#

A7 still sucks smh. I may start buying theme upgrade at a8 if theres still no good 50

normal python
#

Well, I got MC upgrade on A9 so yeah

elfin tendon
#

unfortunate lost 100 points to apple pie because got greedy on r10 for not a good reason but i learned
Still good week

normal python
#

Apple Pie?

#

What does that do?

leaden wraith
#

that's MPizza

normal python
#

Ah that one

simple frost
#

Infinite healing o.o

#

Oh wait hard.

twilit chasm
#

Finally at a9 😭

twilit chasm
#

This is 3rd anabel in a row btw

leaden wraith
#

next time, shut Pykuo's mouth first TabithaHehe

twilit chasm
normal python
karmic briar
#

There’s also ingo or sskris, there’s a couple of supports that can address that stage

#

Sprintfield would have been way worst 🥶

leaden wraith
#

i think kitty saved NC Serena for this

twilit chasm
#

guess what

leaden wraith
#

you saved Lusamine instead?

twilit chasm
leaden wraith
#

oh Kali

twilit chasm
#

bruh

leaden wraith
#

|| SophoKEK ||

twilit chasm
#

anyway i used cerena already lol, tho paulo is replacable, sacrificing cerena at a5 or paulo at a10 is still giving the same point, i just lost at this gamble if it's anabel or not

leaden wraith
twilit chasm
#

Now time to make another comp for this bs

leaden wraith
#

idt you can clear Anabel

twilit chasm
#

i feel like i heard you said that in last week (or last last week) but no, say something different

normal python
#

Try NC Rosa/NC Silver/Paulo

leaden wraith
#

not enough debuffs

normal python
#

Ah yeah, debuffs

muted sparrow
#

Check the shop

normal python
#

But doesn't Rosa have Easy Pickings?

leaden wraith
#

not even enough

muted sparrow
twilit chasm
#

come on there should be other units beating anabel exclude cerena CobalionSquint

normal python
#

Well I guess, especially because confusion wears off very fast

#

And she has Resilience extension

leaden wraith
#

the debuffing is already slow

#

it's -1 per attack

muted sparrow
#

And she only debuffs 1 stat per move

#

Which is really really bad

#

For Anabel

normal python
#

Paulo has preemptive sandstorm right?

twilit chasm
#

keep in mind paulo is replacable, nc rosa is there since she gets x2 and champion theme boost

#

paulo can just make sandstorm for once so he's not that reliable either

muted sparrow
#

How many upgrades do you have rn ?

leaden wraith
#

there is no one can help you with debuffs

#

that's the problem

twilit chasm
muted sparrow
#

The only one i can see that can debuff is Elio …..

twilit chasm
#

with all of these units u telling me theres no suitable debuffers? CobalionSquint

muted sparrow
twilit chasm
#

and there are still people disagreeing with me that palmer is harder than anabel

muted sparrow
#

For me Anabel always harder

normal python
#

Topsy Turvy Hilda Hopium

muted sparrow
#

Bc how gimmick she is

normal python
twilit chasm
#

yea that's my reason why palmer is beatable with any comp

#

anyway this is the rest of my roster with potentially unlocked rolex getting boosted for Support Sprint

#

nc leaf and glojo may be possible to deal with it?

normal python
#

Gonna keep Paulo?

leaden wraith
#

yes, but you need to bring SS Kris

#

for rain refresh

#

Leaf is very good against Anabel, but you need to shut down sun immediately

#

Paulo is only able to setup sand once

normal python
#

I'm uncertain if Gloria's sync will be enough to pre-sync Anabel

#

But NC Rosa + Paulo has a lot of sync accel

#

Along with Gloria's sync accel on her TM

muted sparrow
#

I think NC Rosa-SS Kris-NC Leaf can beat it

leaden wraith
#

Gloria's not gonna beat Anabel comfortably

#

her debuffing is limited

#

compared to fast buffing on Anabel's side

muted sparrow
#

I think NC Blue-NC Leaf-SS Kris beat Anabel

leaden wraith
#

remember the Champion theme too

#

oh nvm

muted sparrow
#

So NC Rosa-NC Leaf-SS Kris should be able to beat it with upgrade

leaden wraith
#

but NC Rosa has double bonus

#

i should have not spoken too soon

#

that's my theorycrafting team as well

muted sparrow
#

Sr i typed too slow

leaden wraith
normal python
#

It should be fast enough debuffing if Rosa has Easy Picking gridded right? -7 debuffs per turn before the confusion wears off unless their DoGloria isn't 3/5

twilit chasm
#

oh i dont mind to candy btw lol

muted sparrow
#

Dojo only debuff Def and Speed

#

And Rosa debuff just so random and slow to make up for that

leaden wraith
muted sparrow
#

And i think even with Rain she still cant pre Sync it

#

NC Serena can pre sync Anabel bc she debuff the hell of Anabel with 2 water rebuff

normal python
#

Didn't DeNA make Anabel tailor-made for NC Serena?

muted sparrow
#

Yes, that why

twilit chasm

#thankyoudena

Aurora?

tawny dagger
#

Autocorrect

normal python
#

LMFAO

tawny dagger
#

Weird autocorrect but it was autocorrect

normal python
#

Their role bonus is sprint/support

tawny dagger
#

Is Anabel poisonable

normal python
#

If you remove her sun, yes

#

Because she has Team Solar Immunity

tawny dagger
#

Oleana rolex shenanigans come to mind but I’m sure there are better choices lol

#

(Other than Cerena)

normal python
#

Who's the weather replacer?

tawny dagger
#

I am speaking strictly debuffing

#

Idk what the rest of the comp would be

#

I imagine there are other good debuffing supports too she’s just the first to come to mind

#

And her damage isn’t too atrocious either

twilit chasm
tawny dagger
#

Hmm I’m really not sure I struggle badly with Anabel even on hard

#

And honestly I don’t know what exactly most newer units can do

#

Is it a champion buff or what’s your buff

sudden heron
#

Can someone ask the poma tools guys to add a calculator for BR points the calculation on that stuff is a bit confusing

#

So to make sure of my calc if i use 3 units with only 2 1.5x for VH(600) is better than using 3 1.5x for a hard(500)

leaden wraith
#

the pins here have a stage score calc, if that helps

fair ember
#

I want Leon in Rally

elfin tendon
#

nothing to change weather so i am not the greatest and decided to try it without changing the weather

gentle maple
#

Palmer just became "easier" now that we got bellelba

twilit chasm
# gentle maple Both are equally hard at around 2 boost, one is a time race which requires brute...

The point is palmer can totally be countered just by buying more boost to improve your damage. He doesnt have any gimmick so any huge nuker of yours can work and beat him, and bellelba is never needed from the start. Meanwhile anabel requires weather change and heavy debuff, along with role bonus and theme skill boost to maximize your points, meaning building a comp is very restricted no matter how many boost you bought, to the state you would rather spend on apple cup or changing to hard stage. That’s why i said palmer is easier than anabel.

gentle maple
#

Fair point but I will still say both will remain a huge pain for those going low spendings in rally WEEZing

tawny dagger
#

Honestly I do think Anabel is worse

#

The restrictions to team comp are insane

normal python
#

Especially with how limiting the debuffs are on sprint/field units

hybrid abyss
#

Don't most of them have some form of debuffing capability?

normal python
#

The only sprint/field unit with good debuffing capabilities is Celesa

#

And maybe Volo and H. Viola

tame forge
#

Sst red is a good debuffer

#

Mix red not that great but still good

normal python
#

Yeah SST Red, but only if 3/5

tame forge
#

Does mix blue do any debuffing? Lemme check pomatools

severe bronze
severe bronze
#

-1 def -1 spdef

tame forge
#

Yeahhh just looked him up

severe bronze
#

blue has mindgames 9 on grid though

tame forge
#

I'm glad he's field

#

So field blastoise leaf coming next

#

With strike ex role haha

gentle maple
#

I hope mix leaf with field Blastoise breaks the tradition with support cake and is more utility focused tho tbh

tawny dagger
#

Tbh I kinda hope it doesn’t. A nice base form offensive blastoise would really break the mold

tame forge
#

Mega blastoise stonks

#

Unlikely though considering the other two aren't

severe bronze
#

field/strike and strike/field is my beloved so SidneyYippee

#

extend range unit BrockChamp
extend range unit with debuff BrockChamp BrockChamp
extend range unit with debuff and field BrockChamp BrockChamp BrockChamp

tame forge
#

Hydro cannon with extend range

twilit chasm
leaden wraith
#

Red debuffs atk/spatk
Blue debuffs def/spdef
that means Leaf only debuffs speed because she often gets shafted

tame forge
#

Frenzy plant / blast burn

#

So she should have some dps at least, even if part of her kit is utility

#

Since her b move is probably gonna be hydro cannon

gentle maple
#

If mix leaf is more offensively focused... that's kinda like dahlia WEEZing

simple frost
#

inb4 Mix Leaaf be like -SPD and -ACC

severe bronze
#

her kit will be similar to dahlia anyway SeleneLul

#

minus the rebuff

#

and big tech/strike nuke

gentle maple
#

I sure hope not WEEZing

leaden wraith
#

but she has 2 uses of rain unlike Dahlia

gentle maple
#

And that's why I hope she's more utility focused

leaden wraith
#

based on Mix Blue, she is gonna be a Mix Red's copy minus some slight changes

tame forge
#

With field role and d max she'll have at least two instances of rain dance

#

Do the boys have terrain extension?

severe bronze
#

seems like theyre basing it on their ss counterpart, ss leaf has poison so does mix red, ss red 10% burn so is mix blue :WEEZing

leaden wraith
severe bronze
#

mix leaf will be defensive it seems

tame forge
#

Kinda doubt

gentle maple
#

Either ways it's gonna be a long wait till mix leaf

tame forge
#

Water is a stacked type anyway, not like she'll break any grounds

leaden wraith
#

inb4 Leaf will be ignored again and we get Green instead

tame forge
#

I'm just glad we'll get a field water type

#

Hopefully a debuffer to open up more options for anabel

severe bronze
#

ill be gladly taking a mix red/mix blue copy of kit

#

its good so DawnNom

gentle maple
twilit chasm
#

☠️

severe bronze
#

she will debuff

tame forge
#

Considering both red and blue do it

#

Yeah probably

severe bronze
#

its a trend with the two mix units

#

defenitely debuff spdef

#

not sure about defense but we’ll see SidneyYippee

twilit chasm
#

Or maybe shield

urban ledge
#

Nothing people say will ever convince me Anabel is worse than Palmer lol

twilit chasm
#

If you cant beat palmer with at least 4 stacks of damage boost then it’s skill issue IrisDerp

urban ledge
#

What 4 stacks

twilit chasm
#

Any which can boost your main dmg dealer

#

Ideally if the shop keeps giving bad boost then a7 or a8 is when you should start buying theme boost

urban ledge
#

Oh wait we’re in battle rally LMAO

twilit chasm
#

UB is a different story yea

leaden wraith
#

Anabel is harder than Palmer, imo

#

even in UB

twilit chasm
#

Not giving them a shit MaxieChad

leaden wraith
#

Palmer still allows team flexibility, the issue is damage race

#

smh 1,500 gems unclaimed

urban ledge
#

So much flexibility I can’t beat him lol

leaden wraith
#

soon to be 1,800

Stupid ass roster

Rei rerun when

twilit chasm
#

Wait until i can get a pity just from UB TabithaHehe

leaden wraith
#

the question is, can you wait for that long?

twilit chasm
#

Are you saying EoS BarryPogChamp

leaden wraith
#

EoS only happens when UBs run out

#

which is 976 years later

twilit chasm
#

You will live till the day we complain about nate and phione being harder than anabel and palmer

leaden wraith
#

i can live till year 3000???

twilit chasm
#

☠️

twilit chasm
#

Fuck anabel WeezingLFG not even need to candy leaf ArchieFlex

twilit chasm
#

Yes

#

Her kit makes it perfect that all 10 stacks of SMNE is spent on her nuke while her dps is physical

#

Easy no-brain gaming without setup

leaden wraith
#

SMUN doesn't affect the sync btw

twilit chasm
#

It doesnt? Why do i feel like it does DarachISee

leaden wraith
#

because Leaf's sync is brutal

#

I didn't expect to be able to get this score in a run with no lucky stages and 2 sprint and field stages but i smh got my best score so far

#

What i find funny is that last one i got 9700 and my friend said cool now do 10K and here we are hahah

#

If anyone is curious

north venture
#

Ash's b thunderbolt barely does any damage here, I can't figure out how rally works. Can someone please help me out?

leaden wraith
#

that stage has high resistance to special moves

#

may i ask what upgrades do you have rn?

north venture
#

Where do I find that info?

muted sparrow
#

Rock Upgrade isn’t a good one sadly

north venture
#

I didn't buy any upgrades

leaden wraith
#

bring a Rock strike or support so the team gets more stats

#

can you show what are being available in the shop?

north venture
leaden wraith
#

is that Main Character theme on the first row fourth column?

north venture
#

Yes

leaden wraith
#

get it then

#

it's one òf the best themes

karmic briar
#

If not the best actually

#

That and champions tbf

formal gull
#

Being set up lmao

#

I don't have NC Silver

leaden wraith
#

is BP Candice available?

formal gull
#

Oh right yeah

#

She's still available

#

Problem is, her early game survival, since they spam a lot of aoes

leaden wraith
#

what team are you using?

#

it's my concern too

formal gull
#

I have Riley still available for 2.0 but I might have to switch him out

#

NC blue is available

leaden wraith
#

Yeah might have to replace Riley with a Water strike

#

I'm not sure that you can beat VH

formal gull
#

Fuck lol

leaden wraith
#

rip

#

maybe we can find someone useful within your roster

formal gull
#

I most likely have to go to Hard

#

Instead of VH

#

What's the base point for hard stage?

leaden wraith
#

unfortunately yeah

#

assuming you are going to bring Riley instead of a Water strike, you get 600 pts on H

#

base is 200

formal gull
#

Good enough

#

Still reaching over my standard average

#

Much rather do this than giving myself a headache doing VH tbh, the previous 2 stages are enough source of that

fluid mountain
#

THIS IS PERFECT! Kanto Upgrade + Zap and rats + Darach UB BarryPogChamp
(No more x2 tho. Used in A5)

#

I take those points. All areas done on VH. The two cycling of the seed shines my lack of x2 units, and two of the areas sprint/field unfortunately

For darach that is

Crappy roles, crappy bonuses

Brst sprint is used to fight Palmer

For like exr lysandre for sorint exr since i dont have strike sprint

Or do i sup exr dj gloria, bringing me to 6 tech/sup

I want to give up

Show upgrades and role bonus?

I have very few sprints

#

I'm trying to save them for the higher rounds

#

Which sprints? And whats your a10 looking like?

leaden wraith
#

Alola is not a good upgrade

#

The only Sprint there is SS Gladion

rapid notch
#

I'd use riley+Greta r8,ssacynthia r9 and maybe sstred 10 right?

leaden wraith
#

Yes, yes and yes

oblique breach
#

I have like 4 sprints and 4 fields

oblique breach

#

Champion or alola?

twilit chasm

crazy how you skipped almost every nc

Crazy how i this account was only there for ncrosa,nate and silverPoryWoke

then where is nc silver CobalionSquint

So, what will be my seed tomorrow?

#

NEW BEST LETS GOOOOOOO

normal python
#

Geez, why 600 points?

craggy helm
# normal python Geez, why 600 points?

That’s my average spent, I got battle facility foe so I bought gym leader upgrade and then bought the apple cup, my spent is usually between 500/600 depending on how good the starting upgrade is

normal python
#

Why Apple Cup?

craggy helm
#
  • I always get apple cup, like I'm not stressing about the roll cakes so Idc about those items in the BR
normal python

For electric dd I have sstred,volkner and pokekid

How do I do this stage,my boosts,boosted roster are in pics

normal python
#

It's Iono's BC IIRC, not sure the gimmick

rapid notch
#

It needs status

#

They have healthy condition

leaden wraith
#

Replace SS Blue with someone debuffing spatk

rapid notch
#

Noone convenient...

#

I don't think lodge blue can tank nor give good gauge

bronze aspen
#

He provides defenses tho and grad healing

rapid notch
#

1ST HIT

bronze aspen
#

Try to proc flinch from stomp

sudden heron
sudden heron
#

Yup they were correct

#

So 2 1.5x for VH gives a higher point than 3 1.5x on hard

#

Vh gives 600 points

#

Hard gives 500

#

Looks like the removing of 1 doesn't count if the unit doesn't supply a score

#

So its not always better to prioritise all units with bonus

sudden heron
#

Waits 5 stages for a 2nd theme boost, get fucking elite 4

half bone
#

Is elite Four bonus at all worth it with this line up?

#

guessing not, not many E4 members available with Sprint or Field.

#

...yeah, just checked, there's NO E4 members that have those roles.

#

CAn someone help me out here?

#

I need help with this stage.

ionic sigil
#

What stage is it?

half bone
#

sprint/field bonus.

#

I REALLY want to avoid usinga support pair this early since final stage is a strike/sprint stage.

ionic sigil
#

That’s the one for Frogs iirc

#

What are your other options? I’d consider dropping Victor for someone else since I believe this stage uses Ghost moves

half bone
ionic sigil
#

I’d give Akari a try and see if she can do some work

half bone
#

I wanna save her for the Strike/Field stage later on.

ionic sigil
#

What boosts do you have too?

half bone
#

Completely useless.

#

Normal.

ionic sigil
#

Anything of note in the shop?

half bone
#

Elite Four is the only other actual boost skill.

#

Also useless.

#

as in, that's the only one available in the shop.

ionic sigil
#

Are the other boosts anything decent that you might be able to work with later on? You’re probably going to have to use someone you don’t want to here

half bone
#

I don't know, you tell me.

#

This is round freaking three.

ionic sigil
#

Perhaps try swapping out Victor and have Riley tank. And put in another damage dealer that matches one of the roles?

#

I thought it was a later round

half bone
#

you can see why I want to save Akari.

ionic sigil
#

How about Riley, SST Red and Paulo for tank?

#

I’ve tried Victor on that stage before and it didn’t go well

#

Outside of that, someone else might be able to help more

half bone
#

It's getting to the point where the only reasonable option would be to use a sprint tank.

ionic sigil
#

That might be what you have to do but maybe with some RNG you can clear it

half bone
#

Riley dies in two hits, to note.

ionic sigil
#

Yeah, not too surprising without any boosts. Ghost Zone giving them more damage output still rough with Victor

half bone
#

they start with ghost zone.

#

the only alternative is paying 50 points for the half cake.

ionic sigil
#

Oh, I forgot they started with Ghost Zone, sorry. I think SST Red can also flinch with his grid but it’s on Thundershock

half bone
#

it doesn't help that middle is absurdly tanky.

ionic sigil
#

No Rika, right?

half bone
#

No.

#

I don't have enough gems for a pity even if I went for her.

ionic sigil
#

I’d personally lean towards using Aura Cynthia here but it’s up to you

half bone
#

GOD NO. I am not wasting her here.

ionic sigil
#

You still have NC Rosa for Palmer at the end if needed

#

Perhaps someone else can help more. Sorry I couldn’t do more to help

sour flax
#

Can’t wait for sprint and field

half bone
#

still waiting to hear on any advice people have for helping with this stage

simple frost
simple frost
half bone
#

I... don't see how.

simple frost
#

If u aoe sp.def ur team, ur team gets a 100% damage upgrade.

#

Even if its +1 sp.def, u can brute force with overwhelming damage. You can clear VH A010 if u stack enuff of those tbh

#

Ive had runs where i just had no theme boosts and ran with Power Boosts

half bone
#

I... really can't use that though, not consistently.

#

Hell, right now, there's nothing that actually can USE that for this stage.

light quest
#

Idk if the advice is that good but my way of doing things is just rool with it, first stages try to get as many rally points as you can

#

Later on try to use the theme skills to your advantage don't forget to always check the shop

#

Sometimes its more worth to do a 200 than a 300 stage too due to dificulty and losing more by spending on something on the shop for the 300 stage than just gaining less at the 200

half bone
#

@simple frost is there any other alternative?

#

Or should I just spring for one of my sprint tanks?

simple frost
#

Let me check stage details hrm

half bone
#

It's apparently the stage for the frogs.

simple frost
#

Dang. Sentry Entryx2.

half bone
#

that's defense, right?

simple frost
#

Yeah

half bone
#

dang.

simple frost
#

With no boost or upgrades, sst red wont be able to crack it iirc

half bone
#

So I would want something like Ss Gladion to help provide power?

simple frost
#

I suppose. Just know theyll drop ghost zone so gl o.o

half bone
#

Do you honestly think I have a choice in the matter?

#

Aura Cynth is my best option for supporting Rei.

#

and he tends to be good for a good amount of different EBs.

#

oh wait, nver mind, they don't start with ghost zone.

#

just realized I missed that.

#

there we go. Just needed an actual tank.

#

Aaaaaand Galar upgrade.

#

For god's sake, stop giving me garbage

#

And now Hoenn, jesus christ, give me something with sprint/field.

#

okay, what good wasy are there to make Akari a tank? I want to have her for bonus points in stage 5 (Strike/Field) so I can get bonus points.

#

I need everything I can gather for this...

molten ice
#

New personal best without lucky stages!
Starting boost was sinnoh in team, VH stage was support/field fire weak Thorton TabithaHehe

half bone
#

I am still starving for any decent ability that works with strike/field.

misty pawn
#

I mean there is Geeta.

#

And/or Akari.

half bone
#

Correction real quick then, I need a bood that works wit hthem.

#

And... now I have to either not take my boosts in this stage or lose score.

ionic sigil
#

Same stage or different now?

half bone
#

I just cleared the new sprint/field stage.

#

I had two.

#

Aaaaand until the end, it gives me absolute garbage.

#

I swear to god, this seed hates me.

ionic sigil
#

It happens. At least you got through that horrid Acerola stage

half bone
#

I am also getting fed up with how the AI just keeps deciding 'no, yo ucannot quad-queue

#

...

#

I am furious on multiple levels now.

#

After ALL of that, not only does it offer me Electric upgrade AT THE 10TH SHOP...

#

This is my boss.

#

Anabel.

#

I'm probably best off just taking hard, aren't I?

leaden wraith
#

What are your available options for strike and sprint?

half bone
#

Keep in mind, I need a strike pair too.

#

Palmer's my only available option left.

#

It's bad enough dealing with Anabel, worse when I have a ball and chain that offers no team synergy and has to consume 4 bars in order to attack.

#

*need a normal pair

leaden wraith
#

Better show all your options

#

Darach might not even be possible if you lack pairs setting up WTZ multiple times

half bone
#

I have NC Silver, Daraoch would be a cakewalk.

leaden wraith
#

Yeah no chance beating Argenta

half bone
#

Not with the ball and chain that is normal boost.

leaden wraith
#

In hard difficulty you don't need to bring a Normal pair

half bone
#

If I had something more workable, it'd have been fine.

leaden wraith
proven matrix
#

apple cup it

half bone
#

Ah, because of no support option.

leaden wraith
#

You have SSA Cynthia

#

The issue is not having good counters

half bone
#

I was more talking weather.

#

Dealing with rain and such.

leaden wraith
#

You said support option

#

Hence the confusion

austere cipher
#

BarryPogChamp finally, my second time getting lucky area since day one

#

Time to cake sabrina SophoKEK

hardy tartan
#

In the battle rally guide, it says to get the ‘stacking stat increases’. What does this refer to?

wary kayak
leaden wraith
#

i can't find that phrase in the guide, can you quote the whole sentence for me?

wary kayak
#

Try not to buy any that you don't have many pairs in, as... any stackable item you have, will respawn in subsequent shops. Which can hog slots, preventing other better items from spawning

simple frost
#

this one

#

in the #1232035765954019338

wary kayak
#

Anyway, I came here looking for advice...
This is my situation. Freebie was Dark. I have three Speed Up damage multis. The current shop (round 8) has Gym Leader Upgrade...
I'm running out of Dark pairs but I have a gazillion Gym Leaders. But then, it might be hard to fit one against the UB whereas Neo Calem matches Dark?

#

Buy Gym Leader or stack Dark after all? HilbertHmm

leaden wraith
#

you still have enough Dark types for the rest of your run

#

the problem is A10, do you have any dmg dealers whose EX role is support or sprint?

wary kayak
#

I stretched it by reusing Nanu, Grimsley, and Karen across multiple rounds each

wary kayak
#

EX Roles support and sprint here

leaden wraith
#

you have a wide variety roster to counter various UBs

wary kayak
#

Perhaps.

leaden wraith
#

tho Darach is a concern unless you have supports/sprints having on demand and/or extanded WTZ like SS Morty, Paulo or SS Kris, etc

wary kayak
#

Yes No and Yes respectively

leaden wraith
#

then you are set

wary kayak
#

Thanks, I'll pick up another stack of Dark upgrade or two for comfort and let's give this a go

leaden wraith
#

depends on the UB tho

#

don't buy anything yet

simple frost
#

3x Speed Power with NC Serena is going to be nice tbh o.o

leaden wraith
#

if there are better themes appearing in later rounds, notably themes that match with NC Rosa and SSA Cynthia, consider grab one of them

#

you still want to use double bonus pairs

simple frost
#

(NC Rosa too)

hasty marlin
#

i procrastinated too much again

oblique breach
#

My double bonus upgrades

#

Area 10 hard is Anabel

#

f u n

leaden wraith
# oblique breach

can you show us your whole available roster matching with Anabel stage's roles?

hasty marlin
#

cant bring most of my exrs cause of 2.0xs later

leaden wraith
hasty marlin
#

the problem comes down to the 2.0x units not being expendable with those

oblique breach
#

I got D2

hasty marlin
#

i cant even throw away ncrosa because of -b

#

this is suffering

leaden wraith
hasty marlin
#

what the hell am i gonna do here i dont have a 3rd that doesnt have 2.0x potential do i...

wary kayak
#

I bought two more stacks of Dark Upgrade and it went well. I was pretty worried when I saw it was Palmer, but 16× total output was enough for 1/5 Neo Serena to still manage a presync knockout. 8000+ points received, and expenditures within budget. Phew.

Thanks, people. See you next time maybe

leaden wraith
oblique breach
leaden wraith
#

can you show us your sprint tech roster please?

hasty marlin
#

who do i use as my gamble unit gakon... i dont got the time to think

leaden wraith
#

both seeds have sprint tech, so no SS May

#

SC Rosa and SSA Cynthia are no no either

#

-a seed has strike field, but -b doesn't

#

-b doesn't have tech field, but -a does

#

if i were you, i would sacrifice Anni May

hasty marlin
#

ok ty

hybrid abyss
#

If Rhythm has a Sprint/Tech pair, that'd be perfect to sac, since you get that role combo right afterwards anyways.

leaden wraith
#

good point, but sprint tech repeats thrice in -b seed

#

so it's better save them for the last, in case there is a lucky stage

hasty marlin
#

rolled -b

#

gonna exr riley this week as a result

#

poison/ghost lusamine?

#

tf is this stage

#

guessing a previous halloween from the background...

#

...fairy zone and para... yikes.

simple frost
#

uhhh

#

that should be Fall Iris & Fall onionboy's stage

leaden wraith
simple frost
#

need to change the fairy zone immediately

leaden wraith
hasty marlin
#

...changing zone with strike/sprint

#

. . .

#

yikes

#

?

leaden wraith
#

Lusamine is immune to many things when zone is up

hasty marlin
#

idk what strike options i can use to do that

#

esp when squeezing an alolan in for theme

leaden wraith
#

NC Nate, SS Piers, Palmer

normal python
#

Use strike/field GladionSip

hasty marlin
#

didnt pull nc nate, didnt pull ss piers, didnt pull palmer

normal python
#

Then you need to off-role bonus

simple frost
#

Geeta can be good here if you have nothing else.

#

(Unless she isn't exr'd)

hasty marlin
#

using geeta this early feels wasteful...

leaden wraith
#

indeed

#

do you have anyone among these?

hasty marlin
#

i own ssrc but she is not exr'd

#

i also own geeta who is exr'd

#

only 18 wild cake coins can be turned in and im out of strike coins since i exrd riley

leaden wraith
#

can you still flinch her?

#

if you are okay with using Geeta this early, go for it

hasty marlin
#

im gonna first just try a brute force to see how bulky she is

#

riley almost kills

#

without answering gimmick beyond poisoning mid

#

on a retry he killed by poisoning sides too

#

so brute force worked

#

plumeria+hilda wasnt too expensive

#

(part of it was cause i already have 2x damage status cond upgrades)

oblique breach
#

some of my techfields

hasty marlin
#

(so thank god for that being in my first shop)

#

?????????

leaden wraith
leaden wraith
hasty marlin

ah

leaden wraith
#

a lot of accuracy debuffs and Acute Senses

oblique breach
#

But water stuffs in Anabel's stage

#

I always go Hard on Area 10

hasty marlin
#

drawing a blank on who to help with it

#

i guess...volkner for part of it...

#

now i need... acute senses answer...

#

...lets try mallow ig...?

#

im just gonna say, im surprised how well that worked

Anabel is butt in pain

#

I need someone E4 or Alola who can reduce her stats

#

Lucian can help

If you happen to have SS Piers he is great

The electric one?

leaden wraith
#

No not you

oblique breach
#

I can give him to you if you want

leaden wraith
#

I don't need him rn but thanks DawnNom

oblique breach
#

NC Leaf looks like a terrible choice for Anabel

#

Given the sunscreen and all those buffs she gets from having the sun on

#

Procrastinated because of terrible first rounds

leaden wraith
#

Use her B Move once, then immediately queue Sandstorm to replace sun

oblique breach
#

unclear, leered and then sandstormed

leaden wraith
#

Sun shouldn't be up at all

oblique breach
#

Who I sync with

leaden wraith
#

Always NC Leaf unless Steven is caked. Sync with him first in that case

oblique breach
#

Steve is caked

#

and burned

#

Always with the Sacred Fire

I bought the jelly SophoKEK tank two hits from sides

Ty, Ima do the next one earlier this time TabithaHehe

Just perfect timing, got morty / sabrina exr today

hasty marlin

i was zoned out for part of my rally since im rushing it and didnt use my ncsilver and ssglad on 2.0x stage rip

#

forgot there wasnt another later in

#

i also AppleCupd cause otherwise i woulda ran overtime on my rally.

#

only had like 5 mins to clear

#

a10

no time for brains

8k for a brainless clear is still not terrible

leaden wraith

totally understandable

Time to head home then o/

KANTO UPGRADE AGAIN

2 shitty initial upgrades in a row

leaden wraith

Field Sprint on A1, Support Field on A10 HilbertHmm

hopefully no Anabel

leaden wraith

Also support/field, you can use SS Kris or Ingo if you have them

leaden wraith

imagine having SS Kris

#

i'm going to use V Thorton, SST Red and SS Morty, hopefully i can keep this team

And what if you don't?

Dude, my only limited Galar units are 3/5 Victor, 5/5 Gloria and 1/5 H. Nessa

not like u need limited pairs

im gonna end up having 2 carries and some random water type throughout the rally most likely

#

yeah this week is gonna be fun

simple frost

Hmm interesting.

I'm guessing I should do Anabel,with Winona,sstred and ncrosa team?

that's Rival and Unova actually

imio, it'd depend on if you already have a plan for A10 involving those two themes

if not, I'd consider
